4.In a bowl, break the eggs, season with salt and pepper and beat lightly. Add the eggs to the pan, covering the chorizo and vegetables completely, and cook for a minute to set the bottom of the tortilla.
5.Place under a pre-heated grill and cok for around 10 minutes until nicely browned. The tortilla shoud still be 'loose' in the centre.
6.Flip the tortilla out onto a plate, garnish with the chopped chives and serve hot. Alternatively allow to cool and serve cold later. The tortilla can be cut into portions and frozen to be enjoyed later.
